Can't believe it's a year already. Ruth and Jenny do some amazing sketches for us to follow and a challenge every two weeks. Congratulations ladies on a fab first year. If you've not been by to Fetch a sketch where have you been! Sketches really do make a difference to my cardmaking and also to scrapbooking. So without further ado here's the sketch I chose to follow and my card:

No posts for 5 days then 2 in one day - don't worry I'm sat down resting as I can't believe it either.Very unusual and productive. I've been crafting away all week since I got back home. The more regular I craft the quicker I seem to make my mind up what I want to make. It doesn't always work out like this but most of the time it does. I even managed a bit of gardening too - so it's much tidier and the weeds are out at last. Here's the card I made yesterday for Shannen to give to her Dad:

You'd have laughed when I started this post earlier I was laid on the sofa having a rest with a heat pad and a blanket on when the phone rang..... I couldn't get out of the blanket, things dropped on the floor etc - what a sight. Couldn't stop giggling.

Happy Father's Day! I have had a lovely morning doing a little bit of shopping then I met my Dad for a coffee and cake at Costa - yum, to give him his pressies. It was so nice to catch up and to treat him as he's so good to us, like most Dad's are. He loves his animals especially whippets so here's the card that I made:

I used: main topper from a hallmark program I have - love a good verse, pic - from an old whippet calendar, freebie papers and card candi.

I did arrive home on Saturday afternoon but it's taken me until now to do a post. Had a really lovely break away and caught up with family and a good friend. It was so nice. Good to be home though and my hubby has been busy finishing off the painting in the bedroom, cleaning the windows inside and out, cleaning the paintwork and cleaning the house and washing. Obviously need to go away more often!!!!! Have felt abit ropey since I got home but I'm getting there now. Busy cracking on with Father's day cards for family - flying by the seat of my pants as usual but I seem to work better under pressure. Here's a card a made today with some new digi's from Nutcrafters that I bought with the gift certificate that I won last month.

I used:
Nutcrafters digi stamps - Just married & bits from the sight-seeing digi, coloured with promarkers,
free papers - old creative cardmaking magazine,
grey co'redinations,
buttons, gems, lace made into a bow, flowers - stash and faux stitching on papers and just married label.

It's that time again for Ruby's Rainbow DT card, the challenge is make a tag or anything with a tag on it, so please pop over and join in and see what the rest of the DT have made. Here's my tag:

I 've always wanted to make a wine bottle tag which was a piece of card which I printed a backing sheet onto it, die cut the circle and decoupages the bottle onto it with another tag from my stash, distress ink, string and a button. Think this was from a Craftsuprint sheet in my stash.
